Case study sample: Juice Dispensing Machine
An OEM needed to bring their new juice dispenser to market quickly. Profile’s design for manufacturing (DFM) expertise made for rapid product development.
8 pressure-formed and 8 vacuum-formed parts replaced stainless steel, which saved weight, cost, and time. Formed-in tabs enabled snap-fit assembly. And an acid-etched tool texture created a uniform surface across all parts.
This complex project showed thermoforming’s design flexibility and performance capabilities. The dispenser came in on time and on budget, enabling the customer to meet production and marketing goals.
Project highlights
